Description
True Grit tells the story of Mattie Ross, who is just fourteen when the coward Tom Chaney shoots her father down in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and robs him of his life, his horse, and $150 cash. Filled with an unwavering urge to avenge her father's blood, Mattie finds and, after some tenacious finagling, enlists one-eyed Rooster Cogburn, the meanest available U.S. Marshal, as her partner in pursuit, and they head off to Indian Territory after the killer. With a new introductioni by Roy Blount Jr., critical essays by Jacquelyn Mitchard and Jay Jennings, and an afterword by Donna Tartt, this 50th anniversary edition cheers and celebrates Charles Portis and True Grit, both true American classics as eccentric, cool, funny, and unflinching as Mattie Ross herself--book flap.
